Make sure to flag all scam calls you get. I've shared some info below. Be extra careful now because loads of scammers use AI to fake your voice on calls. If you look up ‘voice cloning scams’ or ‘saying yes scams’ you’ll find loads of news and police warnings about this really serious AI danger. They only need a tiny bit of your voice - like 3 seconds - and you're in trouble for ages. So don’t engage with any scam caller, delete your voicemail greetings, avoid ringing back unknown numbers, and clear any voice clips you have online. Have a look online for more tips and tell your mates too. This scam is seriously bad news!

I didn’t pick up since I didn’t recognise the number and thought it might be a scam.

Got a call from this number twice now. The first one was yesterday around 2.16pm, but my phone flagged it as possible spam so I just ignored it. Then it rang again today at about 6.10pm, but I didn’t pick up quick enough and it stopped ringing after a bit. They didn’t leave any voicemail or anything.

This number showed up as spam on my phone so I just ignored it and didn’t pick up.

In about an hour and a half, I got three calls all from different numbers, but all had the Halifax area code. I didn't pick up since I don’t know anyone from Halifax.

This number keeps ringing me like crazy every day, but whenever I pick up, there’s just silence on the other end.

I got a call from 0161 560 0956 earlier, some bloke pretending to be from a housing association asking about a faulty oven. When I told him I’m not part of any housing scheme, he switched to a proper angry tone with a Mancunian accent and started threatening me, saying he’s got my number and he'll send others to “deal with me.” Didn’t hang about and reported the whole thing to the local coppers.

The number showed up as possible spam, so I didn’t pick up and they didn’t leave any voicemail either.

Got a call from some sales person trying to push a product, but I couldn’t make out their accent at all. Just ended up blocking the number!

I have no clue who Equi First Private Limited even are.

I've gotten calls from this number about four times over the past week. Each time, no message was left. My phone even warned me it could be a scam.

This number rang again, it’s the second time now. My phone showed it might be a telemarketer, so I just don’t pick up calls from unknown numbers anymore.

Got a call but didn’t pick up, and there was no voicemail either. Pretty sure it was just some annoying spam or scam.

Got a call from 01415360934 but the person just cut off a couple of seconds after I answered. Had loads of dodgy calls all day, so this time I just kept quiet. Blocked this one and a few more now.

Got a call from some random number but it hung up straight away. Blocked it anyway, probably just another timewaster.

These absolute scumbags tricked me into paying £190 for flight tickets that didn't even exist. Felt proper ripped off by them.

I’m sure there’s a person there because I can hear them breathing. It’s such an annoying hassle, honestly. If it keeps going on I’m ready to give them a proper telling off. Already fallen for scams two days in a row, I really don’t want any more of this.

Got a weird text saying something about strange activity on my account for £907.67 to VIRGIN and it got stopped. It asked me to reply Y if it was me or ring 0333 054 0295. Looks like a spam message to me.

Check out what people are sayin’ about this number. They’re also calling from 1757 and 1689. Got myself a S24 that’s got AI auto blockin’ turned on 🚫 and it’s been a lifesaver.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Quick Loan, saying my info came from another firm, though I couldn’t catch the name properly. They were trying to get me to take an £800 loan. I told them I never applied for anything so I wasn’t interested at all. Then they tried to sweeten the deal, saying it was interest and fee-free. I kept saying no and asked how they got my details – they just said alright and hung up. The person only used my first name the whole time and didn’t give me any other info.

Got a call from 07359 873082 and couldn’t make out what she was saying at all. Then she just dropped the call. I've marked it down as a likely scam.

Got a call from a number I didn't recognise. Checked out what others had said before I answered.

Absolute scam alert! Don’t ever reply to unknown numbers, texts, or emails. Be careful not to let anyone record your voice - there’s been a rise in ‘voice cloning’ cons (just look up ‘voice cloning scams’ for a proper warning). Always report these scam attempts through the official police or Ofcom channels designed for this. You can text the phone number and details – even silent calls – to 7726. You might need to send it again when they ask to confirm. Also, make use of the spam reporting features on your phone for calls and texts. Forward suspicious texts to 7726 as well, and confirm if they ask. Scam emails should be forwarded to '[email protected]' and also reported using the phishing report option (look for the three dots in the top right corner). Putting in reports everywhere is vital because it helps all the right bodies get alerted and take action. For more info, google 7726 and '[email protected]'. Stay vigilant!

The call suddenly cut out, but before that, I could catch some noise that seemed like a bunch of voices from a call centre in the backround.

If they're the ones trying to find out who YOU are, that's a definite red flag for a scam! Didn't hesitate, just blocked them!
